Pakistan is currently grappling with an unprecedented smog crisis, particularly affecting the city of Lahore and the broader Punjab province. Air quality has reached alarming levels, with reports of the Air Quality Index (AQI) soaring above 1000 in Lahore, rendering the smog visible from space. Hospitals are inundated with patients suffering from respiratory issues, with hundreds already hospitalized as toxic air pollution intensifies. UNICEF has raised concerns for over 11 million children in Punjab, indicating they are at significant risk due to the hazardous air quality. In response, the Punjab government has implemented restrictions on outdoor activities, including school closures and bans on entry to parks and playgrounds. Climate experts are urging immediate action and coordination to combat this health crisis, emphasizing the need for a robust air quality plan akin to those in other countries.
